Optimal motion planning for free-flying robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of motion planning for free-flying robots. Full state actuation is considered to allow for large displacements of the spacecraft. Motion planning is formulated as an optimization problem and kinematic as well as dynamic constraints are considered. The chosen optimization criteria are spacecraft actuation and final time. The proposed method allows solutions which do not require any spacecraft actuation for those end goals for which the robot motion is sufficient.

متن کاملThe On-Orbit Maneuvering of Large Space Flexible Structures by Free-Flying Robots
This paper addresses the problems of planning and control of the on-orbit maneuvering of large and highly flexible structures by free-flying robots. An approach is proposed where the robots use their thrusters to control the “rigid body” motion of the robot-structure system being transported and their manipulators to control and damp out vibration in the structure induced by the thruster firing...
متن کاملDynamics of Space Free-Flying Robots with Flexible Appendages
A Space Free-Flying Robot (SFFR) includes an actuated base equipped with one or more manipulators to perform on-orbit missions. Distinct from fixed-based manipulators, the spacecraft (base) of a SFFR responds to dynamic reaction forces due to manipulator motions. In order to control such a system, it is essential to consider the dynamic coupling between the manipulators and the base. Explicit d...
متن کاملEfficient Motion Planning Based on Disassembly
Disassembly-based motion planning (DBMP) is a novel and efficient single-query, sampling-based motion planning approach for free-flying robots. Disassembly-based motion planning uses workspace information to determine the workspace volume of a potential solution path and uses this information to exclude large portions of configuration space from exploration. It also identifies the most constrai...
متن کاملPlanning of Safe Kinematic Trajectories for Free Flying Robots Approaching an Uncontrolled Spinning Satellite
The problem of planning a safe trajectory for a free-flying robot to approach an uncontrolled spinning satellite is addressed. First, a heuristic plan is presented for a simple planar case, which constructs a collision-free path within realistic system constraints. Second, a general numerical optimization technique for planning a safe spatial trajectory is presented. In it, the approach path is...
